Olena Rublova

Olena Rublova is a watercolor artist with a background in science. Having received her formal education in biology and ecology, her artistic interests are focused on the issues of biodiversity, portraiture of species, pristine and feral landscapes, and the effect of man and climate change on all. While her work partly reflects her fascination with nature’s beauty, throughout her life Rublova has been witness to the anthropogenic transformation and degradation of her native Donetsk’s environment through industrialization, mining, chemical plant development, and most recently – war. The Russian aggression continues to create devastating consequences for the Ukrainian and regional eco-systems of an unknown scope. Utilizing primarily watercolor, she finds parallels in the characteristics of the technique to the contradictions of a lived reality – its unpredictability, speed, and diverse expressive possibilities.
Nowadays Olena is also involved in work on the cultural front because of russia's war on the territory of Ukraine creating project "Filters of time" in pixel style
